I can also envision a combination of those players being worth a first more than the outgoing on our side. For example: Bogi and Conley for THJ and Powell. I think Utah asking for a first in that instance is not bad. They could even look at THJ’s declining contract as their way to do what OKC did.
Of course, that doesn't mean Dallas should still be interested. It's all case by case, to me. Which name, for which team (trying to accomplish what with the transaction) and for what additional outgoing stuff in the deal?
I could understand a 1st outgoing for Conley from Dallas' perspective if Bertans was also outgoing (no idea if that's the best Utah could do), because I happen to think Conley in a 20-25 minute role off the bench makes this team significantly better for the next season or two. Like, quite a bit better. But, I'm not sure I'd be thrilled about that deal.
